Richard D. Wolff

Richard D. Wolff is an American Marxian economist, professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and one of the most recognizable contemporary public advocates of socialist and anti-capitalist economic critique. Through books, lectures, Democracy at Work, and his long-running program Economic Update, he has popularized arguments about class, workplace democracy, crisis, and the structural failures of capitalism for broad audiences. In debates, Wolff is known for an academic but highly accessible style that combines economic theory, historical framing, and moral criticism of existing market systems.
